I think this can work... but few concerns.

1. Our output binaries also include <image>.bin_unsigned, would extensions that 
aren't "standard" be added to the list if they are truly output binaries? If 
not, changing names for them may be a long stretch (pinging Vignesh and Nishanth 
to comment here).

2. Can it be an option to not enforce this, to support users that may make use 
of the intermediate binaries?

Also if we do move forward with this, we will need to sync to make sure that the 
changes to the affected boards come through as well.
